Hi guys! Thought I'd just tell you guys about this game that I've been playing for a week now. It's called Rayman Origins! It's a pretty fun game when you don't keep dying. And the boss levels are sometimes actually pretty hard. I need to defeat one more boss so I can get onto another place because right now, I'm just at the beginning place, which is in the forest place. I'm excited to see what else there is and on the game cover, it says that there are over 60 stages to play and I've only played like 20? Hopefully not more because then the game would be ending soon D: After this game ends, I'll probably play Saint Rows 3 because we've got that but it's just Yvonne playing right now. In Rayman Origins, it's pretty fun, you even get to choose a character! Out of like 15+ characters. For those that don't know what kind of game Rayman Origins is, just search it up because I can't explain it. It's kinda like the old fashion Mario but not? haha. It's a three day weekend for me this week because on Monday it's teacher's only day so sweet! Get to play more games haha and my speech/presentation day has been changed, I now have to go on Tuesday! I'm not too worried about it though because I pretty much know all of it. But of course, on Monday night and Tuesday, I'll probably be freaking out. Not that I don't want to speak in front of the class, it's just because I'm scared that I'll mess up a line or forget to say something. Man, that would be horrible. :( But best of luck to me!

Hiya! The first week of term 3 finally ended and now there's 10 more weeks until the next holidays. I'm nervous for term 4 because that's when all the big, NCEA exams are happening. They are worth quite a few credits and I wanna pass year 11 so I'll be studying hard to get each and every credit that I can get.
Wahh.. there's no more good television shows anymore. All of the best shows got to the end of the season :( Including Desperate Housewives (last episode EVER.. sob..) and Two Broke Girls and Glee! (another last episode EVER.. I think)

This weekend, I'm going to be lazy and just relax. All week I've been so tired and now I can finally rest but with Hazel and my whole family awake quite early (at around 7-8ish), it's super hard to be able to sleep in. I don't mind that much, since I can't fall back to sleep if I already know it's morning unless I'm dead tired but that never happens.

Last weekend, while it was still the holidays, I went to get my haircut. It's not what I wanted but the hair dresser did do what I asked for. I wanted it to be more of a 'V' shape but they just cut it dead straight. Asian hair dressers are better. Well I've only been to three hair dressers in my life and two of them were from Hong Kong. One of the two hair dressers were great because they shaped my hair to fit my face. Because I'm a push over and I had no idea how I wanted my hair so I just told her below my shoulders, layered and she shaped it without me having to say. I want that hair dresser forever haha. When I got home, my mum helped me cut it thinner by just cutting the insides of it and it definitely got waaay thinner, I was so glad because if she didn't cut it, it would've looked 10x worse.
[I won't post a photo for this post, you'll see my hair in other posts in the near future]

In the holidays, I started playing Final Fantasy XIII-2 (13-2) It's fun and I love the combat style. I admit, I'm bad at doing the equip and I was bad at the level up stuff because I went to the 5th or 6th world and I still had no idea how to level up my people because I never went into the Crystalium page. I found out eventually because I was complaining to Yvonne that I could never kill the 'Royal Ripeness' (the tomato boss). Once I knew how to level up, I kept leveling up their strengths (Sereh- Magic and Noel- Commando). I had so much CP that I got them both to level 60 all at once. But since I'm skilled now, they're both at level 99 for their own thing. I've also taught them medic, synergist and saboteur. I still have no clue what synergist and saboteur does but oh well. I think synergist is when your person can put spells (like poison) on enemies.. or is it saboteur? Hm.. I keep forgetting. Sereh is good at the poison spell but I wanted Noel to put poison on enermies while Sereh attacks them with her magic. (That's the technique I'm trying for a boss that I can't seem to defeat) I love the game though, just not when I can't defeat a boss. Especially if you spend ages trying to defeat it but die after like half an hour of trying.

I'm gonna start a little game to replace the question of the week/day things at the end of this post. Well, íf I think of good questions then I'll ask but for now, I'm going to write one line of a song and you guess the song name and/or song artist in the comment section. Fun right? I hope so.

Guess this song: "My mind is a warrior, my heart is a foreiner"

Hi Sim lovers. My mum recently brought me the Pets expansion pack. Even though all Sims maniacs would've gotten it when it first released but because my mum's cheap, she brought it for half price! (So did my biffle, lol) We both saved money! The original price for this expansion pack is $69.90 but since it was half price, it only cost $34.95! That's quite a lot of money, of course it's not like $100+ but still, save as much as you can in these bad economy days.

I really love playing with Pets included in the game because it makes the main story much more different, since your sims life will be based around animals. And there's new clothes for your sims. For those who have played The Sims 2 pets, you probably know how to play this but for those who haven't (I haven't) you'll still learn how to play and control everything easily. Another reason why I love this game is because there is quite a large variety of pets/animals. I didn't expect snakes, turles and lizards to be in the game even though you can't control them, it can still make the game more fun.

Sims 3 Pets

The pets my household has are a scottish fold cat, horse (not a horse expert so I don't remember the breed) and I also found a cockatoo in my backyard so I took it home and pretty much stole it from nature. I just hope that my cat doesn't attack the bird. I adopted a puppy from a neighbour and it is so cute! It's a mutt, female and has light and dark brown fur. I would love to have a dog or cat have babies I think it'd be cuter than a baby horse but it is rare to see a horse give birth/have babies. Unless of course, you have horses yourself and breed them. I wish that you could have more animals in this game though. I mean, I know it's tricky to design the animals and all that, but it'd be so fun if they made cows/bulls and you can ride them for the rodeo! Even though there are no rodeo theme's...

Question of the day: What Sims 3 expansion packs do you have? If none, then why?

Love,
Elaine
